Hi
I really like AC games and i´ve wanted to buy AC Unity but i´ve heard that the game has a lot of issues
Is the game patched enough and Ok to buy now?
Is the framerate OK?
I just wanted to know if the overall experience is playable(and if the game is worth buying,some people say that this is the worst AC)
I´m fine with the framerate dipping sometimes but if the overall experience consists of low(and consistent low) framerates everywhere i don´t have interest buying this
Please let me know the state of the game
PS4 version
Thanks
Performance and bugs/glitches wise , the game runs and performs good, it has received 6 patches and there are no major or ground breaking issues. another thing with the game was the companion app and initiates, but those are gone and not required to unlock anything in the game but you need to play online if you want to open initiates chests or collect initiates artifacts.
Now according to game itself in terms of story, gameplay,.... this is a user perspective, me personally didn't like it since the combat system was a game breaker for me, so if i would suggest to watch some Spoliers Free Youtube videos about gameplay elements to get a better idea.
AC:Unity as far as PC goes (can't comment on PS4), now runs flawlessly. I don't know if it has anything to do with complete removal of online components like AC Initiates or the companion app, or the fact that UPLAY got upgraded a lot and isn't really an awful client as it once was... but all in all, AC Unity is pretty much fixed now.
As for whether I liked it or not, it was okay. Nothing special, nothing impressive. It was mediocre. I think that all the Co-op and Online features were excessive, which in the end hurt the game a lot. AC Syndicate is the best proof that when you focus all your efforts to a SP only game, you get a great game. AC Unity was not a great game because they were going for CO-OP stuff which crippled the singleplayer part a lot. The gameplay is quite boring since you have a feeling like you're playing a poor man's MMO. Sneaking is crippled (no whistle taunts/ammunition is rare and very limited), combat is okay, but Syndicate improved it a lot. Story is... I'm on the fence. It was good and bad. Bad as in predictable and we've already seen that type of story with Ezio. Good as in it had an interesting setting and events.
If I had to say which AC game was the worst, then I'd say AC Unity for sure. Simply because it is a poor man's MMO which I don't like. So many crippled features in the game which resolve around Co-op and farming resources/points.
I started playing Unity over 2 months ago and have almost 200 hrs in gameplay with the ps4. I have the newer CUH-1200 model, not sure if that could affect our experiences. I've only played the co-op missions by myself so I can't say anything about the online portion. Also I rarely connect to the internet, but when I do sometimes the framerate will dip temporarily and once the console froze for 30 seconds. Those usually happen when the game is trying to connect to or loses its link to the Ubisoft servers. Other than that, my playthroughs have been nearly bug-free and the framerate is consistent (ie it doesn't feel laggy). I've read a small handful of other players' experiences since the most recent Patch 1.05 and they all seem to agree that Unity is vastly improved when compared to its' launch state.
I might be mistaken but I was able to interact with the Initiates chests/artifacts despite not being connected to the internet.Originally Posted by YazX_ Go to original post
to be honest i'm not sure and haven't tried it, but i quoted this from a CM post once about interacting with these chests, maybe this requirement has been removed or you might have been online without recognizing it.Originally Posted by Ureh Go to original post
EDIT: to OP, please don't open multiple threads for the same question/issues in different forums board, if you need to move a thread in future you can PM me or any mod to do so. i'm going to close this one and keep the consoles board one:
